Abstract

In the big data era, many users upload data to cloud while security concerns are growing. By using attribute-based encryption (ABE), users can securely store data in cloud while exerting access control over it. Revocation is necessary for real-world applications of ABE so that revoked users can no longer decrypt data. In actual implementations, however, revocation requires re-encryption of data in client side through download, decrypt, encrypt, and upload, which results in huge communication cost between the client and the cloud depending on the data size. In this paper, we propose a new method where the data can be re-encrypted in cloud without downloading any data. The experimental result showed that our method reduces the communication cost by one quarter in comparison with the trivial solution where re-encryption is performed in client side.
